OK guys, I'm trying to make these a little more difficult. Please PM AND post a reply if you want rep points.


The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?

"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician.

#86 Winners: SirIsaac, hardheaded, Ozfazer6, rsw81, PowellB, Stumbles06, Fz6Sa

Well done guys!

Ozfazer6, I thought you had some important trip or something, haha. guess you just wanted to answer a few for a while huh?:thumbup:
